Blackstone puts it, into the com,,or
sock and so becomes the property Of
me hnder' in the same way as If he
were the first occupant. That find
ing is Keeping was at one period in
the worlds history also true in tho
case OF treasure-trove; but with the
growth OF the royal prerogative it was
excepted from the general rule. Grotius
even speaks Of the right Of the Crown
10 h'dden treasure as jus commune
" quasi gentium; and it is not a little
remarkable that it was recognized in
his day in Germany, France. Spain and
Denmark, as well as in England.
The Goths seem literally to have
been the first to declare the Princes
property in buried treasure. The rich
boards hid by the Romans when driven
out OF their homes by the northern
%barbarians fell a prey to the cor
queror; and such was their value, that
the generals made it a capital offense
to conceal or appropriate them. This
was, too. once the law of England.
Both Granville and Bracton, who
wrote in the reigns of Henry II. and
Henry I'LL, record that the occultatio
Mesauri inrcnH fraudulosa was punish
able with death. This is the more
curious. since treasure-trove was never
the subject Of larceny; its conceal
ment belonged to the class of mispris-
ions or high misdemeanors. But the
penalty was long since reduced to fine
and imprisonment.
The holding an inquest upon treas
ure-trove is among the most ancient
duties OF the corone By Il statute Of
Edward l., the coroner was required,
on being certified by the Kings bailiffs
or other ''honest men of the country"
to 60 to the places where treasure was
said to be found and to inquire who
were the finders. 1t is quantity sug-
gested that it may well be perceived
who is to be suspected of finding it,
''wherc one liveth riotously, haunting
taverns, and hath done so a long
time Moreover. the individual
might be apprehcnded upon this sus-
picion.
But the new regulations will proba.
bly, supersede all these old processes.
In the future there will be little tempt.
alton to conceal treasure-trove, be.
cause the finder will be quite as SUBJ
stantially rewarded by discovering it
to the authorities. In q recent case
the treasury gave a practical illustra-
ton of this. A number of old English
gold coins Of various dates were
found by n workman in some
old oak-beams which had been
taken from y farmhouse near Luton.
OF these, many proved of such rarity
that they were sent to the national
collections; but the treasury gave
orders that the finder should be paid
for them at the rate of their value as
old gold; while the remainder were re-
turned to him. But it is q curious in
stance Of the changes of the law, that
we should now offer Il substantial re-
ward to deter persons from committing
an offense which in the good old
tines was punished with death and
is still a high misdemeanor. second
only to misprision of treason and mis-
prision of felony. Chambers Journal

Assistant Secretary Thompson of the
treasury department Is said to be an
expert In reviving swooning persons.
writes Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore ADlersc0h. but not until
last week did he have an opportunity
TO display his skill in that line for the
benefit of his official associates. A
party Of New England eNcursionisis
were passing through the department,
among them being newly-married
couple. In consequence Of overeNef-
ton or the poor sanitary condition of
the treasury, the young bride fell in a
faint Immediately in front of Mr..
Thompson's office. Hearing the com
motion I'm the corridor. Mr.. Thompson
opened his door, and. taking. in the
situation at n glance, directed that the
fainting lady be laid upon the
sofa in his room. The young husband
was almost frantic, with utter disregard
for the presence Of strangers, he en-
deavored 10 restore his wife TO con-
sciousress by pressing her TO TO his
bosom and caressing her extravaganza
ly. Mr.. Thompson suggested his in
fallible remedy of stretching the
patient on her back. with her head
downward, SO as To allow the blood TO
circulate 10 the brain. The young
husband at first demonstrated against
what seemed 20 him 10 be treatment too
heroic for his better half, but he finally
consented, and in few minutes the
young lady was restored and the happy
couple rejoined their friends, and con-
tinucd their sightseeing expedition.
Mr.. Thompson says he has obtained
his experience in fainting eases from
old DIR. Cuttings, of Columbia, S. G.
The doctor was called upon TO admin
lister to a lady who had tainted. Upon
his arrival he found the lady stretched
out upon sofa, with high pillow
under her head The doctors first
instructions were TO take the pillow
from under her head and place The
family bible under her heels, and she
will be all right in n minute" Mr..
Thompson never forgot this remedy,
and he has practiced it repeatedly with
great success.

From an article on The Vedan by
w. ID. Whitney in the Century, accom-
panied by extracts from the Bible of
India, we quote as follows; 1.-The name
Veda has grown to be n familiar one in
the ears of this generation. Every
educated person among us knows il as
the title OF literary work belonging
10 far-off India, that is held to be of
quite exceptional Importance by men
who are studying some of the subjects
that most interest ourselves. Yet there
are doubtless many to whose minds
the word brings but n hazy and un-
certain meaning. For their sake, then,
IL may be well to take general view
of the Veda, 10 define its place in the
sum of mems literary productions, and
10 show how and why il has the especial
value claimed for Il by its students.
The Veda is the bible of the inhabi-
tants OF India. ancient and modern,
the Sacred Book of one great division
of the human race. Now. leaving
aside our own Bible, the first part OF
which was i'm like manner the ancient
Sacred Book of one division of man
kind, the Hebrew. there are many such
scriptures in the world. There is the
Koran OF the Arabs. Of which we know
perfectly the period and author;
the Avesta of the Persian fire
worshipers,' or followers of the Zoroa-
ster; the records of China, collected
and arranged by Confucius; and others
less conspicuous. All are of high
interest, important for the history Of
their respective peoples and for the
general history Of religions; yet they
lack that breadth aud depth of conse-
quence that belongs to the Hindu
Veda -

There are plenty Of capable men who

not be safely trusted not to abuse that

steer clear of all such men if he can, but it
Is not easy work to do it.
He will probably find the best men for
commissioners among class who are not

does not need a great lawyer, or politician,

The Buffalo Holocaust.

The lesson of the great Buffalo fire,
most vigorously emphasized by the circum.
stances, is that in the architecture OF
large buildings the emergency Of fire must
have an architectural consideration that
II not given to it.
Here was new hotel provided with all
the latest and best appliances; broad, firm
stairwsys, electric alarms and fire escapes.
Five minutes after the sounding Of the
electric alarms the flames are said to have
reached the top Of the building, and that a
large majority Of the guests escaped un.
harmed, is not due to the buildings archi-
lecture. What terrible holocaust there
would have been but for the electric alarms,
the fire escapes and Hayes ladders! What
. miserable dre trap it was that could burn
20 rapidly that five minutes warning was
al that could be given. The employees
seem to have given the alarm promptly,
though they FIRST laid hose, a. most men
would on discovering what appeared to be
4 trifiing Ere, and the blame for this ter.
rible disaster seems to rest chiefly upon the
designer and builder of the hotel.
1t may not have differed greatly from
most Of our large hotels, the dangerous fea'
ture Of an elevator well is prominent in all
OF them and can not be dispensed with
but there is call for some inventive &c.
MUS to devise . means Of cutting off the
elevator draught in case Of fire. This
may be impracticable; but it Is not unpracti-
cable to build hotels 80 that they cannot
burn; and there should he such require
ment in the law.
Another lesson may be taken from the
words Of Chief Horning, of the fire depart
ment The cool.headed ones were res.
cued all right, but some could not wait. ,
The girl who jumped from window
without waiting for the approaching lrs
